Strange Wilderness

Plot:

When his father dies, Peter Gaulke inherits "Strange Wilderness," dad's TV show about animals. After ratings plummet and the show is canceled, we watch a long flashback to see its demise. The studio head gives the show two more weeks. An old friend brings a story about Bigfoot in Ecuador, so a long road trip ensues with stops along the way and enough problems, misjudgments, and deaths to sink a less intrepid band. Peter's team faces competition from a better-funded and more practiced set of rivals. Who will find Bigfoot first, and will they get it on tape and save the show? Can Peter make dad proud?

Review:

This movie is a cross between Superbad and Grandma's Boy. So you kinda see where its going... This movie was really dumb up until the part where they enter the jungle/Steve Zahn enters a wild turkey. Then, surprisingly, it was ridiculously funny. So funny in fact, that when the Bigfoot scene happened I couldn't stop laughing for 3 minutes. I recommend you all to try watch the first half of this movie and then pay attention to the last half. Its worth it. The movie also has all the guys in the Adam Sandler movies, the bigger kid from Superbad and FARVA! Check it out!

Rating: 3.5/5 (5/5 in the last 30 minutes)
